Hearts midfielder Scott Robinson will sit out the Edinburgh club's trip to Dingwall to face Ross County in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League as he completes his two-game ban.

The 20-year-old was shown a straight red card in last week's Scottish Communities League Cup semi-final at Easter Road after launching into a dangerous two-footed tackle on Inverness' Owain Tudur Jones.

He was hit with a two-game ban that took in the midweek win over Dundee as well as Saturday's meeting at the Global Energy Stadium.

Youngster Gordon Smith has recovered from a viral infection while Jamie Hamill will return to training after 10 months out with a ruptured cruciate ligament.

Ross manager Derek Adams is hopeful Ivan Sproule will recover from a hamstring injury. The winger went off in the second half after scoring the winner against former club Hibernian.

Marc Fitzpatrick and Ross Tokely left the club this week with Branislav Micic coming in.
